    2. 【物理】谐波。
  1. “The orchestra produced a beautiful harmonic sound.” (管弦乐队发出了悦耳和谐的声音。)
  2. “In physics, a harmonic is a signal whose frequency is an integral multiple of a reference frequency.” (在物理学中,谐波是频率为参考频率整数倍的信号。)

“The young scientist was studying the harmonic vibrations of guitar strings. He noticed that when he plucked a string at exactly half its length, it produced a perfect harmonic note. This discovery showed him that even in the world of physics, there is a natural sense of harmony and balance.” (年轻的科学家正在研究吉他弦的谐波振动。他注意到,当他在弦的正中心拨动时,它会发出完美的泛音。这一发现让他明白,即使在物理世界中,也存在着自然的和谐与平衡感。)
